Thasrak, a village near Palakkad town, is the fabled land of Khasak, the setting of Malayalam novelist O V Vijayan's masterpiece 'Khasakkinte Ithihasam' (The Legends Of Khasak). A visit here offers a surrealistic experience to anyone who had read the 1969 work, whose publication became a watershed in Malayalam literature. Much change has not taken place to the village road that goes up to Thasrak, when compared to what has been described in Vijayan's novel. Koomankavu, where the main character of the book, Ravi, started his sojourn, is now known as Canal Road. A whiff of beedi smoke that emanates from passing bicyclers could be felt on the road. The tree houses erected on the branches of teak trees are all as narrated in Vijayan's novel. If you take a right turn from there, you reach Ravi's Khasak or Vijayan's Thasrak. From this point, every grain of sand is a character in Vijayan's writings. Time stands still here.
For the ardent fans of Vijayan's works, the road to Thasrak offers a foray into endless dreams, where they fly like broken kites, listening to the tales sung by the breeze and the dark palm trees. Clad in red ochre, the narrow path leads up the hills, down the valleys, on to the road, where they are greeted by the sights and people seen by Ravi - the charming Maimuna, Appukkili, Nisamali and the pond called Arabikkulam.
